... are as dumb as a box of rocks. I'm truly sorry, but it must be said. After reading thousands posts over the past few years, it is obvious that, as a conservative estimate, 96.7% of VN posters understand college football in general, and UT specifically, to the same extent that they understand quantum physics, post-impressionist art, and the poetry of T.S. Eliot. The sad part is that many here live and breathe Tennessee football. Yet they know nothing. Consider the following pearls of wisdom that have repeatedly, I say repeatedly, been offered on VN:

1. Derek Dooley was a great hire because he is an outstanding recruiter.
2. We've steadily improved under CDD.
3. I'm expecting an 8-win season in 2012, but 10 wins is a definite possibility.
4. We'll be in the SECCG this year or the next!
5. Coach Sal's 3-4 D is tailor-made for this team. The Tennessee D will dominate every opponent once the players learn it.
6. Jon Gruden will be UT's next HC. Bank on it!

If I've left any other wildly optimistic, in hindsight ludicrous opinion expressed on VN off the list, feel free to add it.

Are you a new member to VN? Bear this in mind: the random musings or conjectures you read here are about as likely to be accurate as those expressed by Kim Kardashian or Manmohan Singh, the current prime minister of India. Those two individuals have exactly the same degree of insight into Tennessee football as your average VN poster.

Put another way, one should read VN not for information, but for entertainment only. Opinions expressed here are mostly the result of blind hope and optimism, not cogent thought or balanced consideration of the facts at hand. If a VN poster happens to make a correct or even accurate prediction about, say, the abilties of our coaches, the outcome of the Florida or Vandy game, or Tennessee football in general, then it was mere chance and nothing more.

“Using Twitter for literate communication is about as likely as firing up a CB radio and hearing some guy recite ‘The Iliad.” - Bruce Sterling

Just swap Twitter for "the internet" and literate for "logical."

The only thing I can't understand is how any and every coach would want to come here and we should make an offer....things I read.

Why not Belichek
Why not Jeff Fisher
Why not James Franklin
Why not Bill Cowher
Why not Nick Saban
Why not Chip Kelley
Why not Mike Tomlin
Why not Tony Dungy


The list goes on...

Gruden is a possibility and alot of coaches mentioned on most threads are at least a possibility. BUT some of the posters on here think just because we are Tennessee that a coach like Jeff Fisher is going to quit his job with the Rams and give the college ranks a try. It's kinda funny that some people think this way.

So everything on the internet is to be taken with a grain of salt. Thanks there Captain Obvious.

God forbid people express hope and optimism on fan message boards.

Hope and optimism are great - the measure of a fan. But let's remember that that is all it is. It does not give anyone, myself included, any ability to forecast the outcome of a game or a season or what a coach can accomplish.
